I want to be known as a husband to Lauralea. A dad to my kids, papa to my grandchildren and just a guy who followed Jesus.
I've been helping churches get healthier for a long time, and usually that's about praying and staying a long time in the same place.

Well, after a day and evening of meetings and retreat and today so far a day of classes and Spiritual Direction pratice classes, I am tired.

It's good to see thise people again, my classmates I mean. We've been interacting all winter through our online classes, and its good to get some face time again. And it's also good to observe how we are changing. There are sometimes subtle, but often clear indications that we have changed. It's good to see them again.

And it's good to be in class again too. Certainly it's a bit of a challenge, getting up to speed, but so far its been a good challenge.

But, I am tired, and it's only Tuesday.

We go mornings from 8:30 till noon, then one till five, then 6:30 till 9:30, then we walk home.

I don't think I'll have time for Jazz this visit, but that's ok.

Tomorrow I'm having supper with a classmate. We made arrangements mid-winter some time, and I wasn't sure if she would remember it, but she did so we will. Then another night it's a light supper put on for us by Denomination officials. Maybe another supper with classmates and that will be the weekend.Â

So, class is on and I am engaging with the material and things are going well.
